Success Stories

I want to share gratitude to all my beautiful,  motivated, inspiring clients. They bring me so much joy!

Here are their stories:

Our lives have changed- permanently. I lost 40 pounds, and we ran a 5K for the first time!  I firmly believe that if we had taken a different route, that if we had not found Lisa, Katie would not be where she is today. Lisa’s constant support and belief in her made all the difference when everyone else around her didn’t believe in her and our chosen method. If we had taken the traditional route of psychologists, etc, I believe Katie would be just like others who struggle with anorexia – in and out of treatment, with no real cure. We have found, through Lisa, not only a solution, but a new way to live our lives. In five short months we achieved what can take others a lifetime. Katie is doing beautifully. She has gained over 30 pounds and is now at a healthy weight. She made honors for the first time in her high school career and was awarded conference honorable mention for softball. We ran a 5K for the first time, and I even lost 40 pounds during the program. Our family is continuing on our healthy path. .So, while THANK YOU doesn’t adequately express our appreciation, the changes Lisa helped us make may very well have saved a life (or two). Thank you Lisa!

“I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks for my cruise!”
As a whole, I have a more positive outlook on my health and nutritional needs. I have also allowed myself to take time out of my busy day for some high quality “Carrie” time. It was easy to use the “grab and go” system and not think twice about what I was actually fueling my body with and then providing my body with no rest. Fitness and exercise has always been important to me, but for some reason I never really felt satisfied after a workout and I was so incredibly hungry! After working with Lisa, I now have a better understanding of how to fuel my body and what to fuel it with, so that I can actually feel satisfied throughout the day.

One of my goals was to lose 10lbs in 6 weeks for this cruise. Lisa taught me how to nourish my body with greens, exercise, sleep and a more positive inner self energy. And the 10lbs came off without me even blinking an eye! I feel great and now I am ready for the next 10!

I lost weight, got off my high cholesterol l medication, and knocked 11 minutes off my half marathon race time. Plus my husband’s blood pressure is down!

After working with Lisa, I realized how important it is to take time for myself everyday and do something that I enjoy or that helps me relax. I do not always think about food-what I am going to eat and when i am going to eat it; measuring the the right amount for a serving size. No more of that! I have learned to listen to my body because it will tell me what it needs. I also realized the importance of sleep and how I need good sleep in order to keep moving and stay happy everyday. An occasional nap does wonders! I am more aware of chemicals and toxins that I used to put in my body and on my body. The best hair and skin products are all natural products like coconut oil and dry brushing with rosemary oil.

I have been getting compliments from everyone about how good I look. Everyone wants to know if i have been tanning or on vacation. I have been told that I am glowing-to the point that I that I thought I might be pregnant! I have dropped a few pounds and for the first time in a long time I feel good about my body and appearance. I also have stopped taking my high cholesterol medication. I am faster when I run and go go longer distances. I knocked 11 mins off my race time from last year. i have more energy and feel like I have better focus and memory. My food choices are certainly different. My body now craves healthy food. I try to eat as clean as possible. I have found new loves in juicing and cooking with different grains and veggies/greens.

Lisa has a very positive energy that is contagious to everyone you meet. You have a wonderful passion and love for coaching and counseling people and helping them achieve their goals. Lisa did not try to sway us to conform to healthy eating habits but worked with us in teaching us how to eat what WE liked but in a more healthy, more clean manner.

I think everyone would benefit from nutritional counseling. I thought I was very knowledgeable about health and wellness (little did I know) but now I have a passion for more. I realized all the things I thought I was doing to be healthy and slim down were just working against me. It’s not about food, it’s about changing your life.

I have tons of energy and completed my first marathon!
As a runner, I knew that nutrition played an important part in the training process, but I did not know HOW to make sure I was properly fueling my body. Well, Lisa changed all that! She taught me what I should be eating pre and post workouts. I am eating a greater variety of healthier options such as quinoa, kale and other greens. I have increased my energy level, and I am cooking more and trying new recipes. Lisa is very positive and motivating. She is so easy to talk to!

I was surprised that my picky children and “meat and potatoes” husband embraced healthy foods!
Lisa’s positive attitude and enthusiasm for what she does make her so easy to work with. During our initial meeting, she spent a lot of time determining my family’s needs and developing a program that would be right for us. What I liked best about the program was that she didn’t ask us to give up any of our favorite foods. The focus was on learning about a healthy, balanced diet. We were able to make small changes and incorporate new foods. The most surprising thing was the way my picky children and “meat & potatoes” husband embraced the changes. It was easy because they were able to make their own choices about what to eat. I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone wants to learn to eat better and feel better.

I felt energized during my marathon training and was able to easily transition to vegetarianism with Lisa’s help.

As a newbie to the world of vegetarianism, I had been searching for a nutritional advisor to assist me in developing a healthy and balanced diet. Also I  had an upcoming marathon to train for.  The best part about my program with Lisa was that she was very flexible and diverse in her meal plans.  She really listened to what I liked and tailored her sessions with me.  Lisa really focuses on each client individually and what their particular situation is, but her involvement doesn’t stop there. Life as a whole is a giant balancing act and she focuses on all areas of her clients’ lives. Throughout my program, I could really see a change in my energy level, and I just felt better overall! When I first started with Lisa she told me this was going to happen, but I had to feel and see the changes myself to appreciate the work.  I am still very surprised at how food affects our bodies and daily life; what goes into our bodies is so vital and now I don’t take that for granted anymore. Lisa is a great listener, very in -tune to each individual needs and as long as you follow her advice, it will help you change your life for the better.
